Essential App to Help a Beginner

This app is layered with facts, tools, and tips to help even an absolute beginner wedge their way into the wine space. It can be quite intimidating to try to learn so many regions, grapes, aromas, pairings, etc. To have this resource presented in such an aesthetically pleasing and easily-navigable app is perfect. There was an error for me in one of the sections, and I was easily able to email Brandon, the app’s creator, to solve the problem quickly. Excellent service for an excellent app!

Great info, hard to see

I’ve just downloaded the app and purchased the premium option. The information is great and easy to use, but I’d like to make a suggestion for your software enhancement backlog to make it easier to read; add a zoom feature to the app that allows some one to pinch and zoom in for better legibility. One other suggestion, add in an additional appearance section for a brighter, white background, beyond black or sepia colored. As we get older our eyes need a little more brightness to see. Thanks for considering my suggestions and great job on the app.

One of my favorite apps

This app is truly so good... The amount of information, the ux, and the features are all so practical and useful. I love it! I'm going to recommend it to every friend that enjoys wine. Happy to pay for the premium version!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a wine app that doesn’t make me feel dumb

I’ve always loved wine but never really understood it — I’d just point at something on the menu and hope for the best. Anchored Vines completely changed that. The grape encyclopedia, food pairing suggestions, and label decoder are incredibly useful whether I’m at a restaurant, shopping at the store, or planning a trip to wine country. It’s the kind of app I didn’t know I needed until I couldn’t imagine being without it. Zero pretentiousness, all practicality. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to actually enjoy wine with some confidence behind it.
